you're retraining your leg."
"Yes, sir."
"But there is one thing."
"Yes, sir."
"My name is Jean, if you call me Sir one more time, people
will be using your name in the past tense around here."
"Yes S.... Ah, sure thing Jean."
Jean smiled and left. His next conversation promised to be
the hardest of the day.

Jean walked through the door to his apartment and saw
his wife. She ran to him and embraced him strongly. "Jean,
what's wrong? What's going on? Everyone is acting like it's
World War Three. No one will tell me anything."
"I know, sit down. I have some terrible news to tell you."
She sat and he saw the color leave her face and her eyes
were already starting to tear.
"Ginger, I can only say this one way. It's Kit. A terrible
thing happened on her current assignment." A tear started

rolling down her face. Jean sat beside her and slowly told her
the rest of the story. She was sobbing by the time he was
done.
"But she's not dead, there's hope isn't there?"
"Ginger, the only hope is that she is dead."
"What!"
"Ginger, you have to understand. The only reason a
vampire would take her and not kill her is so that he can
change her, make her a vampire to be used against us. It's
been tried before. It never works, mainly because as far as
the Committee is concerned, Kit is already dead. There is a
standing order to destroy turned agents immediately and
without hesitation."
"What are you saying?"
"What I'm saying is this, Kit is now being hunted by two
blue agents. If they find her, they will destroy her."
"My God!" Ginger screamed. "How can they do this? How
can you let this happen?"
"I have no choice, Ginger. You have no idea how
dangerous Kit will become if she is turned."
"How can you say that? You have werewolves and other
captured monsters under lock and key. Hell, you have David
locked up downstairs and he killed his best friend. Can't you
show my best friend the same compassion?"
"You may not believe me, but I am. If Kit is still alive, then
the kindest thing we can do for her is to kill her. Ginger, we
never take vampires alive. We have no way to control them.
No way to contain them. With their psychic powers, they

would run amok and destroy us all. My God, don't you think
this is killing me too?"
Ginger pushed past him and ran into the bedroom,
slamming the door behind her. He could hear her sobbing and
felt terrible. The last thing she needed was to see him right
now. He picked up the phone and dialed four numbers. "Hello
Pat? Yes it's Jean. Have you been briefed? Good. I just told
Ginger. Yes, she's taking it very hard. She won't talk to me
right now. Could you and Julie come and just be here if she
needs anything? Thanks."
Jean hung up the phone and waited quietly for his friends
to arrive.

Chapter 13
Kit was at a party. It was festive and happy and everyone
was wearing their best party clothing. Kit's mother had
bought her a new dress for the occasion. It was her birthday
and Kit was feeling very grown up. She saw many of her
friends and family and felt their love for her. She had always
enjoyed being the center of attention.
Some might have found the crowding offensive, but Kit
liked it. Each of these people had brought her a present and
her booty grew and grew each time the doorbell rang. She
grew giddier and giddier with each passing moment.
Her cousins and siblings were becoming a bigger and
bigger problem in the old Victorian house. Their noise and
energy were beginning to bother many of the adult guests
that her parents had invited. It was very confusing and her
mother finally started shooing the children out into the back
yard. Kit made a special point to tell her mother to send
Ginger out back when she got there. Her mother smiled and
told her not to worry.
Out back, the multitude of children laughed and chased
each other around the back yard. Kit's house edged up to a
stand of woods and there was some talk of going exploring.
"Why not play hide and seek?" a voice called from the back
porch.
It was her Uncle Ian. She did not know her British uncle
very well. In fact, he wasn't even really an uncle. He was a
something removed cousin who happened to be traveling
through Canada and had pit stopped at Kit's family's house

along the way. Though the children thought of him as old, he
was only in his twenties and had and charm and beauty that
Kit found alluring.
"Kit's it, Kit's it" all the other children started screaming.
Kit, the birthday girl, could not argue with the logic and hid
her eyes against a tree and started counting to twenty. She
heard the stampede of feet headed in all directions, but
mostly towards the woods.
"Ready or not, here I come!" She yelled and started on her
hunt. When she got to the edge of the woods she saw her
Uncle Ian, who put his finger to his lips and gestured her
over. Kit obeyed and enjoyed the conspiratorial look he had
on his handsome face.
"Shhhh, I'll help you look, follow me." He said.
Kit followed her uncle. Having him play her game made
her feel very grown up and she beamed at his attention. He
led her deeper and deeper into the woods. He promised to
lead her to a very special place.
Along the way, Kit spotted David hiding, but Ian lead her
away from him quickly. She had made eye contact with David
and was puzzled by his expression. He seemed to be
watching, intently interested in what Kit was doing.
When they reached a quiet spot in the woods, Ian turned
to her and asked, "How old are you today, Kit?"
"Twelve."
"Why, that's almost a teenager. You know, you look much
older. You look sixteen or seventeen to me."
Kit glowed with pride.

"Canada is such a strange country, nothing like England.
Would you like to know how teenage girl celebrate birthdays
in England, Kit?"
"Oh, yes." She said excitedly.
Ian did not answer her questions with words. Rather he
pulled her closely to him and kissed her on the mouth. He
pressed hard and his strength was beginning to hurt her. As
she struggled to free herself, he used his superior weight and
strength to push her to the ground.
He had her panties off and was penetrating her within
seconds. He finished almost as fast. He rolled off of her and
said, "There, now you're a woman."
Kit glared up at her uncle, but it wasn't Ian's face that
looked back at her it was Jean's. Kit felt hurt and confused.
She didn't know what to do.
Jean looked down and sneered. "This is what bad little
agents get, Kit."
Kit's head was spinning and then she heard David's voice
calling something to her from his hiding place. She tried to
listen, but Jean yelled at her. He told to pay attention to him,
but Kit listened harder. She could almost make out what
David was saying when Jean leaned down and twisted her
arm "I told you not to listen to him, bitch!"
Kit screamed in pain from her arm and woke up staring at
her captor.

"Fucker!" She coughed and lunged at him. She found she
had no strength and fell back into the bed. Her arm hurt
